Nice exercise video! Makes you appreciate each shot when you work that hard for air. Got my M3 (.25 Sniper) yesterday. Mounted scope and barrel cleaning first, air up today with hand pump. At 200 bar, while taking break, pump blew out, with loud hiss. Took pump apart, NO COOLANT INSTALLED, no wonder it got so hot! I've got to replace several ruined rubber gaskets and coolant. Looking at Yong Heng compressor on Ebay for $275. Liked bug shooting video with your little helper in background, too. Your postings and videos are good, keep them coming.

Man I started with a hand pump and I tired out so fast. Got myself a yongheng and never looked back. Hand pumping is probably the BIGGEST beginner mistake in the airgun world because I have yet to find one sticking with it.

Im gonna stick with it as long as I can bro.
i started out with an Altaros booster to fill my bottle and decided last month to get the hand pump just in case SHTF had the Altaros 3 years no problems clean dry air every time thats why i like the GX hand pump it filters and dries the air at the inlet just seems smarter to keep the pump internals clean and dry as well as the gun smart engineering on their part the other hand pump manufacturers should take note

After watching several hand pump repair videos, realized I had an extra small O ring on center shaft they didn't. Realized by not venting hot pump during rest periods, I'd blown O ring right out of center of main plunger. Found another in parts supplied and installed. Working fine now but still no coolant. Think mineral oil or antifreeze will suffice. Half dead from filling M3 but slept great last night. Ebay said they'd give $30 credit if I signed up for their Mastercard so, if approved, think I'll get the Yong Heng. Really like PCP airgunning but not sure I'm ready to die for it.
